Chapter Ninety-Five: The Nan Family Partnered
Nan Longyun lifted the curtain, walked in a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your grandfather and grandson's conversation......
"Old friend Long Yun doesn't need to explain, if you really want to hide it from you, the old man would have called you in a long time ago!" Leng Wushu said, took the tea handed over by Leng Zhong, took a sip, and then said: "Old friend, I'm afraid you also heard about what happened just now, although this kid is messing around, but what he just said is quite promising." β
"My Leng family has a thin foundation, and I offend too many people, and I don't have much to deal with other nobles in this Nanxing Mansion, the old man, this earl, can be said to be aggrieved for half a lifetime, at the moment, even if my Leng family is not at the end of the road, it is not as good as a day, but if it can really be as this kid said, the revitalization of my Leng family is not hopeless! In the past, my Leng family had nothing that I could handle, so I couldn't rub this old face to ask for help, but this time, I asked my old friend once, how about helping my Leng family?"
Let Leng Wuving, a man who would rather bend than bend all his life and refuse to accept the slightest loss, take the initiative to beg for someone, which can be regarded as the first time in the world, you must know that even if it is the North God Jing, seeking refuge for Leng Zhuo, Leng Wuving has never said a word.
Nan Longyun hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't be, don't be, even if you ask, it's not the invincible brother who speaks, but I come to speak, the old man, I'm not a fool, what your grandson said is not an ordinary small profit, once it happens, it will be the wealth of Jinshan Milky Way, and that Jinhe is in Brother Leng's fiefdom, how to say it, I borrowed the light of the Leng family, and I can take this guy with the invincible brother, but my Longyun's blessing!"
Tsk, what I said makes people feel comfortable, this old lady of the Nan family is interested, since this is the case, let you give the Nan family 20% of the profits, Leng Zhuo thought in his heart.
"Okay, okay, if Long Yun's old friends join, then this matter is a bit successful, the fiefdom of the Nan family is not far from us, but there are still seven or eight small aristocratic fiefs in it, and a large number of goods are running in Jinxing City and other places, it is good to say, there is the banner of the Nan family, no one will check, but the goods are transported from Jinxing City to Weeping Blood Valley, but it can't be hidden!"
Nanlongyun also quickly entered the state, after all, how did this business become, Nanfu will also benefit a lot, although the land of Jinxing Mansion is abundant, but the location seems remote, compared to the northern part of Chuzhou, the water and land transportation of the developed prefecture and county is not sporadic and half-point, although the Nanjia also has business over there, but there are too many people over there to divide the interests, the Nanjia Earl is in the Nanxing Mansion or can go sideways, but over there it can only be regarded as general, if the Leng family this river opens, but it is two, at most four or five families share profits, as long as there is a scale, it is much stronger than over thereγ
Nan Longyun pondered for a moment and said: "I have a way, but I want to pull in a person, although there may be some benefits, but with its joining, this business will become seven or eight, as long as it is not someone who has a heart to investigate, it should be able to hide most people!"
"Oh, who is it?"
"The commander of the Vermilion Bird Legion, Chen Yun, this person and I are both former subordinates of His Majesty, and we have a good relationship with each other, and when His Majesty divided the two of us, the fiefs of our two families were next to each other, and the Chen family fief was also connected to the wild forest, but he was a first-class uncle, and the fief area was not small, and it was located at the southwest end of my Nanjia fief. β
"But although the Chen family is next to the wild forest, there is also a gap of dozens of miles between me and the Leng family, and there are several nobles' fiefs in the middle, which are not close to the fiefs of the old man's family in the south. β
"Hehe, I naturally know this, but your Leng family wants to avoid people's eyes, so naturally it is not good to transport a large number of goods here with great fanfare, but when you enter my Nanjia fiefdom, the Chen family's fief will not pay attention to it, the Chen family's fief is next to the wild jungle, as long as you open a road in the jungle, it will lead to the Valley of Weeping Blood!"
This old lady of the Nan family really thinks about jumping enough, this method can be thought of, Leng Zhuo also has to admire, what is safer than in the wild forest, there is no such thing at all.
There are many barbarian tribes in the wild forest, and although most of the noble fiefs are next to the wild forest, there is actually still a distance, except for the Leng family, who would be willing to take the forest that is full of danger and cannot be cultivated as a fief, and as long as they are willing to spend money, most of the noble fiefs will be seven or eight miles away from the wild forest, just like outside the weeping blood valley, the large grassland full of wild grass, although the land is fertile, but it is uninhabited.
"And Lao Chen Tou is still the commander of the Vermilion Bird Legion, although he was squeezed out by the Huang, Gong, Shi, and Zhang families, but after all, he still holds the military power in his hands, and he is still the commander of the legion in name, even those few families dare not force it too tightly, with him joining, with the energy of the Chen family, it is more convenient to purchase goods than my Nan family, and few people dare to check. β
"In addition, you can also let him send some henchmen and horses to the edge of the wild forest in the name of field training, we don't need to go too deep into the forest, as long as a passage that can accommodate two or three carts is established in a place of one or two miles in the forest, and ensure the safety of the nearby two or three miles, I think there is no problem, of course, this requires your Leng family to come up with real benefits, after all, when you are a soldier and eat, you don't give enough benefits, but no one will sell their lives." β
"Okay, okay, if the captain of the Suzaku Legion joins, then this business can be done out of ten, Zhuo'er, this matter is the one you provoked, and I won't worry about this matter, but the old man is warning you two words, don't be too stingy, and don't be too greedy for profits!"
"Yes, my grandson understands!"
"Hehe, invincible brother, you can rest assured now, are you going back to Jinxing Mansion with me to live, although your fiefdom is quiet, it is not suitable for physical cultivation, and I will also go back and send the children of the family over, and the Chen family will also contact it!"
"I'll go back tomorrow, Leng Zhong, you will stay and help Zhuo'er, this kid is still tender after all, you take care of it more!"
"Got it, sir!"
Coming out of the old man's room, it was almost noon, and he brought back the sword dolphin fish meat to the second grandmother, the head of the kitchen, although it has been a few days, but the fish soaked in the golden maple wine has not lost its freshness, but because of the long-term soaking, it completely presents a faint gold, but this kind of meat is a little intoxicating, but for the old man who drinks spirits as water all year round, it is in the mouth.
"Brother Leng, how is the situation with that group of barbarian female captives!" After hastily eating lunch, Leng Zhuo found Leng Chen, who was training soldiers outside, and asked.
"Young master, that group of captives is not bad, they eat and drink every day, these barbarians are not polite at all, they give as much food as they want, but young master, what are you going to do when you bring this group of captives back, this group of barbarians is untamable, they are not material for farming at all, and they are almost useless except for wasting food. β
"Who said it's useless, there are too few people in the Weeping Blood Valley, and the valley also needs to be repaired well, the surrounding red rock and soil slopes must be heightened, and the city walls must be piled up, all of which need to be done by people, do you have to do this hard work in the village!"
Leng Chen's mouth opened wide, obviously a little shocked by Leng Zhuo's idea of building a city wall around the valley: "Young master, our valley is not big, it is not small, and building a castle can not be stopped without more than 100,000 gold coins." β
"It doesn't take so much, in addition to hiring some stonemasons, manpower can be used by barbarians, stones can be made from the nearby mountains, I think the Jinhe side also needs to explore upstream, if the dock is built, it is a little far away from the Weeping Blood Valley!" Leng Zhuo's thinking jumped a little, so that Leng Chen couldn't keep up, he actually had to build a dock, or was it in the wild forest?
"Young master, it's a bit difficult to get the barbarians to work, if you release this group of barbarians, if there are too many of them, they will definitely escape, as for building a wharf, the savage forest is the territory of the barbarians, it is difficult for us to get benefits, if we build a wharf, I'm afraid it's a little difficult!
"Hehe, naturally it is useful, from tomorrow, Brother Leng, you will take your subordinate psychic who is good at path-finding to me to explore the barbarian tribes near the Weeping Blood Valley for me to investigate, and then pull them out for me one by one, catch them alive as much as possible, as for how to make this group of barbarians obedient, as long as they starve them a few times, I think they will be honest, of course, in order to prevent them from escaping, I also have a way to deal with it!"
As a country that has created eighteen kinds of torture, even the most vicious criminals have a way to deal with it, not to mention a group of barbarians who fight hard, as long as they create a batch of shackles with good texture, the shackles are enough to restrain the barbarians, of course, in addition, getting some military bows and crossbows seems to be a good way, if you can connect with the captain of the Suzaku Legion, it shouldn't be difficult.
After talking to Leng Chen again, Leng Zhuo returned to the lord's courtyard and began to prepare for Qin Liangyu's psychic ceremony, the location was still in the ice cellar, it seemed that he had to get a secret room, and the ice cellar would soon be used to store ice cubes, and in the future, he would often use the psychic array to channel or even summon, and his own formation research had also stopped for some time, so he had to hurry up, and he had to have some self-preservation energy as soon as possible.
